Mel Gibson And Vince Vaughn Hated Meryl Streep’s Anti-Trump Speech

Meryl Streep stole the show at the 2017 Golden Globes when she used her Cecil B. DeMille Award acceptance speech to lob a protest against President Elect Donald Trump. While most of the Hollywood establishment seemed to be firmly on board with her message of anti-bigotry, viewers at home noticed that two conservative faces in the crowd were a bit…perplexed? bored? ripe for memes?

That’s right, super-conservative Mel Gibson and noted Libertarian Vince Vaughn did not seem all that impressed with Streep’s scried against Trump and bigotry. Their hilariously awkward faces have since inspired a bunch of memes and jokes on twitter.

That said, Meryl Streep still has her supporters in Tinseltown. The Guardian reports that George Clooney made a point to come out in support of Streep’s speech last night at an event for Netflix‘s documentary, The White Helmets. The film is about the Syrian men who risk their lives to search for survivors in the rubble of Aleppo.

Clooney said to Trump, “Aren’t you supposed to be running the country?” He then added, “I didn’t vote for him, I don’t support him, I don’t think he’s the right choice.”
